On the 2 of June 2008 I am pleased to let you know that I will be taking a position with the United Cycle sales team and setting up our Grassroots club riding programs. Over the years through my work with the MS society and friendships with team riders and store personal I have developed a great appreciation for the work United Cycle does in giving back to the community. I hope to add to that with my new duties.
It will be a big learning curve for me but I know I can rely on you all for knowledge and assistance. I will update the stores Grassroots schedule on Monday. At This point I know on Wednesday(6:30 from the store) Tim will continue to run his skills program which was a great success last Wednesday. The feed back was very positive. Thanks Tim. This Thursday we will run our intermediate to beginner MTB ride and Road Ride starting at 6:30 PM.
Once we have our ride leaders in place we will make cycling an enjoyable experience for our club riders and foster advanced involvement for those who aspire to race. I feel there are other community events that we can assist with in a volunteer capacity and I welcome any input,advise and constructive criticisms you may offer.
My approach to work and or problems is to find a way to do things not to stonewall, procrastinate and delay doing things we need to do to advance our missions. I am willing to learn in the areas where I lack skill and knowledge and believe in a team approach to get the necessary things done to be successful.
I have all ready received some invaluable help from Tim and Brys and look forward to this new part of my life.
Thanks in advance.
